Encouraged to experiment with various materials this workshop focused on drawing the figure in various poses. The first two images are A2 and show an ink study where the ink was applied using a stick at arms length. Difficult to control, the stick allows for various qualities of line, usually quite delicate, thin line although depending on the weight of application, line can become stronger. The methodology used in the next set of images was varied. Initially I started a drawing in charcoal, only establishing the drawing for a few minutes. This study was then rubbed off with a cloth and the paper turned upside down and another drawing was placed on top of this. The ghostly lines from the previous drawing can be seen underneath and provide a layering of the drawing. We were then invited to extend our chalk lines by using water to make the charcoal lines flow, also considering positive and negative shapes visible in the figure arrangement. The drawing was allowed to dry then further developed using charcoal to built it up, rubbed back with a cloth, then rubbed out using an eraser to create yet another set of lines. The focus for this piece was to demonstrate a figure study which was not confined by an outline around it but was soft and flowing, suggesting the figure, perhaps even suggesting movement within the figure. I feel this study fits well with the theme of my Dissertation, ‘Distictions between the dual identities of teacher and Artist Teacher’ as the figure does not assume one form but many, with underlying suggestions of other figures perhaps other identities. This study is A1 in size. The last two A2 images show a quick study, using graphite, leading lines, continuous line to move around the body and again avoid a harsh outline. I have indicated the sizes of the drawings to demonstrate the energy and effort which were adopted to complete these studies.
